"So it seems, I'll join forces with this person, you'd better fend for yourself, elder."

"...Eh?"

Elder Du was stunned: "You brat want to burn the bridge after crossing?"

"Where did you get this idea?"

Su Mo said with a smile: "Between you and me, there's no acquaintance, nor any dealings. The last time I asked the elder to lend a hand, to save my sister, the elder even used Soul Detachment Powder on me.

"Later, when I arrived on the island, remembering our brief encounter, I accepted the Thousand mile Silkworm the elder gave me just now.

"By relying on this item, I've found you, the elder.

"I thought you were trapped in prison, but now it seems, that's not the case at all.

"You, the elder, are thriving here and unwilling to leave.

"In this case, it's not good for a junior like me to meddle unnecessarily.

"As for what the elder instructed earlier, I can say it's finished, in fact, it's you, the elder, who owes me a favor now.

"So, this talk of burning bridges after crossing them, don't know where it came from."

"..."

Elder Du was so angry he almost ground his back teeth to dust: "Speak, what do you want the old man to do?"

"The details about Mitu, all the information around here, the elder must not hide from me."

Su Mo said:

"Additionally, I have a little brother who was captured here. Elder, while taking this opportunity, please take good care of him."

"Is it the foolish disciple of the Canglan Divine Blade?"

Elder Du slightly frowned:

"This matter, the old man agrees to without much issue, but it's not easy for me.

"As for Mitu... even if you didn't ask, I'd tell you."

"Thank you, elder."

Su Mo clasped his fists.

"Enough of this."

Elder Du pouted: "Sly rascal, since when did Nanhai produce someone like you."

He immediately detailed the circumstances within Mitu.

Among them, some were told by the plain clothed man, some were discovered by Elder Du himself.

Overall, although it may not fully resolve the Mitu.

But at least it allows Su Mo to come and go freely.

The conversation concluded around this point.

Elder Du had limited time and couldn't delay here, so after speaking with Su Mo, he intended to turn and go to the pharmacy.

Then he saw Su Mo following him step by step.

"...What do you want to do?"

Elder Du turned back to look at Su Mo.

"Naturally, I want to take a trip to the pharmacy."

Su Mo said with a smile: "You, the elder, are restrained in your actions, but I am not. I am planning to see if there's anything worthwhile inside the pharmacy."

"Very well."

Elder Du pouted: "But be careful, the pharmacy might have its own Mystical elements, the old man is not too sure."

"No problem."

Su Mo smiled slightly and followed behind him.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance back at the big door behind him.

On the large door, a small latch opened in the doorway, where a blood-red eye was still watching him.

Su Mo's expression became somewhat complex, finally letting out a gentle sigh, with a wave of his hand, he heard two clicks.

The two upper and lower latches returned to their original positions.

"Elder, there's something else I'm unclear about."

"Ask."

"Since the Evil Law lacks humanity, how are the people on the island able to control it?"

"The thing that confuses the soul inherently has the ability to control them."

"So it is..."

Su Mo sighed.

Medical skills were originally for healing.

But if such means are used for evil, it is far worse than ordinary people doing evil.

However, Su Mo still didn't understand.

Are they doing this only to create the strongest individual?

Thoughts brewed and then calmed, so he didn't think more and followed behind Elder Du.

There were guards inside the pharmacy.

Upon arrival, Elder Du had already reverted to his previous clueless state, losing all sense of flair.

He only communicated to Su Mo through sound transmission:

"Do you have a way to get inside?"

"Where is the secret place?"

"Inside, the guards only protect outside the door.

"Go left inside, that's where the inner chamber is.

"There's no one inside, only pill prescriptions and excerpts from the Medical Scripture.

"Going right would lead to the Puppet Room, where it's filled with Medical Saints controlled by them.

"These people each have their own abilities, gathered here, but no one knows for what purpose."

While transmitting sound, Elder Du had already entered the pharmacy, and the moment he opened the door, he felt a breeze sweep past.

The two guards at the door instinctively looked around.

They saw nothing, and were puzzled.

Elder Du did not understand the reason either. After entering the room and trying to turn right, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Mo and Little Situ standing at the left entrance, casually pushing a door open.

When?

This surprise was no small matter; it nearly made Elder Du forget to maintain his guise.

Fortunately, being an old hand in Jianghu, he was nothing like ordinary Jianghu people, forcibly maintaining his expression prevented detection.

Yet his heart was immensely shocked.

He found Su Mo, young as he is, exceptionally profound and unfathomable.

The Soul Detachment Powder having no effect on him was one thing, just being immune to hundred poisons, that's it.

Many on this island share this trait.

But how did he come by this Qinggong skill?

This skill truly let him pass right in front of him, unseen.

If he wanted to take a life, wouldn't it be in an instant?

Su Mo was unaware Elder Du had been given a small scare.

He and Little Situ walked into the pharmacy, already seeing various elixirs displayed on the shelves, while the other side was filled with pill prescriptions and medical scriptures.

Su Mo glanced as he walked, also asking Little Situ for her opinion.

Little Situ shook her head:

"Most here are quite ordinary.

"Judging by the names, nothing extraordinary among elixirs... Hmm, Anti Vine Powder?"

She pointed to a shelf on one side.

Su Mo reached for it, but found the weight off when lifted.

With a slight exertion, he saw a steel wire attached beneath the bottle.

Momentarily stunned, the floor beneath suddenly gave way, and his body swiftly plummeted.
